Sabert Corporation, a global manufacturer of innovative and sustainable food packaging solutions, announced a significant achievement in its long-standing commitment to sustainability. All products using the company's molded Pulp Plus™ and Pulp Ultra™ formulations, which are manufactured at the Greenville, Texas facility, have been awarded certification from the Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI) and meet ASTM standards for compostable products in North America. This third-party verification solidifies Sabert as a leading BPI certified domestic manufacturer of molded pulp foodservice packaging in the United States.
Composting plays a crucial role in achieving sustainability and promoting a circular economy. The BPI certification indicates that Sabert's molded pulp products from Greenville can be properly composted in industrial facilities and will disintegrate into a nutrient-rich soil amendment at the required rate. This provides brands, food companies, foodservice operators and consumers assurance that the packaging is certified compostable and can be diverted from landfills through commercial composting channels.
The 350,000sq-ft Greenville facility, which officially opened in 2022, uses Sabert's proprietary pulp formulation chemistry and processing techniques to manufacture a broad range of molded fiber packaging items that are 100% free from per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).
Along with molded pulp, Sabert maintains an industry-leading pipeline of other innovative packaging solutions designed ‘smart from the start,” prioritizing sustainable measures like using renewable resources and recycled content, increasing production efficiencies, and ensuring products avoid landfill disposal.
